Our Dining Room is a one-volume story about a lonely gay businessman who has trouble eating in front of other people, although he is an excellent cook.  His shyness begins to dissipate when he gives culinary lessons to two brothers and they begin to share meals together.  This is a sweet, slice-of-life BL manga that will probably appeal to fans of Fumi Yoshinaga’s What Did You Eat Yesterday?  It’s scheduled for release on December 3, 2019, with an MSRP of $12.99.
